Prologue – Death and Rebirth

Death, an inevitable occurrence that remains constant in this world, aside from life itself. Death comes in many forms sometimes naturally, sometimes by sickness, by an accident, by a monster's hand, and like for me, by one's own hand. 

As I lie here blood flowing from my wrists and my consciousness fading too black, I am sure you are wondering what led me to make this decision. Come watch my pathetic life flash before my eyes with me and you will understand. 

I was born as Sebastion Wagner, to a lovely couple named Joy and Stan Wagner, however they were murdered in front of me when I was five years old. Afterwards I was sent to live with my grandfather, he was a raging alcoholic who could only live in his glory days as a prized martial artist, which was the only good thing he taught me in the years that I lived with him. 

I started going to school not long after, however it was not the retreat I was hoping it would be either, I got relentlessly bullied there too. I got into plenty of fights with my bullies, until one day things got out of control, and I severely injured one of them, I was sent to juvey that day and my grandfather disowned me as well. So, why did I not give up then? Because I made a promise to one person who I had known since childhood, the only person to ever believe in me, I promised that I would find her when I got out and we would fulfill our dreams together. I later found out she died from cancer, while I was in juvey. She had cancer when she was a child, and it came back suddenly. I tried to continue living for her and my parents, but I'm tired. If I could have one wish come true, I would wish to be reborn in a world different than this one. 

It seems that my time has come to an end, the darkness has fully reached me. So long cruel world. 

"Poor thing, you lived quite a hard life, I will give you a second chance at happiness. However, nothing in life is free if you are willing to accept the mission I will bestow upon you, I will give you the abilities to shape your own future and forge your happiness with your own hands. What do you say young man?" A mysterious female voice spoke. 

"May I ask what is this mission you speak of, and what abilities shall I be given?" I asked. 

"You are to protect the very girl you lost in your previous life in a new world, she has been reborn as the Vampire Princess Anastasia, and if you are willing to accept this mission you will be reborn as a black angle, it will be your duty to protect her for the sake of that world relies on it. I will enhance your basic abilities including your martial arts, and I will give you the ability to use magic. I will also allow you to retain your memories of your previous life as I did for her." the mysterious female voice stated. 

"If Ana is in danger, then let us not waste any time my mind is already made up, I will protect her with my life. Send me there immediately, please." I spoke in a hurry. 

"I respect your courage and chivalry, but please don't worry I stopped time in that world for this conversation to happen. I will send you to the world Norder now, please protect her my dear warrior, and remember to embrace your happiness no matter the challenges you face." The voice spoke. 

After that final line from the mysterious voice, I saw a black lily start to bloom before my eyes and when I came to, I was being held in air, and I could hear crying coming from somewhere. Is that me? 

"Congratulations, it is a beautiful baby boy. Would like me to do a check for his abilities he was born with Duchess Emily?" 

"Yes, please." Duchess Emily, whom I assume to be my mother, answered. 

After she answered I felt a small prick on my foot, and then what I could assume was the doctor state, 

"I can't believe it, the legend was true! Congratulations, Duchess Lily, your son is a Legendary Archangel, he has the ability to use all magic, and he is the destined one of our Princess Anastasia." 

The doctor handed me to my Mother, to which she looked at me and said, 

"My, my, Sebastion, it looks like you will have quite a eventful life my dear boy, I'm sorry you won't be able to live a normal life, but this is wonderful news as well. You are a destined hero, and I couldn't be prouder of you." 

So, this is what a mother's love feels like how long has it been since I witnessed such a feeling. I promise I will do everything in my power to live up to your faith and pride in me, mother.
